Help Us Hit Our $90,000 Goal

We’re aiming big—$90,000 to keep funding the programs, staff, and community events that make Whittier amazing. Here’s how you can jump in right now:

Need to sell 26 more tickets to break even on venue + catering!
Need to sell 8 more tickets to break even on drink supplies!
Thank you to our community for covering 113% of our community ticket goal!

We have 5 more volunteer shifts to be covered! We redesigned this event this year to require fewer volunteers with shorter shifts. It’s a great way to have fun at the event, help out Whittier and the volunteers that make things happen, and still have plenty of free party time. Sign-up here >>

A Poem About Some of the Silent Auction Packages You'll Find at Spring Fling

Get ready to bid because this list? It slaps.

Skate camps for kids. Donuts for laps.

Hand fans for heat. Spa days for peace.

Grandparents visiting? We got you, capisce?

Zoo trips. Chowder. Museums, too.

Totes for your stuff. And feelings. And you.

Some Europe-ish vibes with Nordic flair.

Practicing the trip counts (we checked—It’s fair).

Pole dance. Dinner. Stretch, sip, repeat.

Date nights that don’t have to feel like a feat.

Seafair, but calmer with beer, donuts, and access.

Aerial yoga. Baseball. Middle School. Less stress.

Car wash. Poop bags. Steins for your soul.

Soccer. Karate. Unicycle? Yes and No.

Birthdays handled. Kids contained.

Fishing. Seahawks. San Diego explained.

Scroll. Bid. Laugh. Win something rad.

All for Whittier. And honestly? Not bad. 🌱

Class locations are for the Dessert & Snack Dash between 9-9:15pm.
